mini-interview.

Let's back to the beginning.. When we decided to seek for faulty spaces of Ankara, we couldn't know where to begin with. We went to Konur Sokak, the office of The Chamber of Architects of Turkey, there is where I always go when I didn't know what to do about Architectural homeworks. It was holiday, and naturally, we didn't hope to see anyone who can help us. However, Fatih Söyler, the chairperson of Ankara Branch, was there! He shared associated sources with us, and would more, but we had to go to complete our tasks. A little conversation we made, and I took beneficial notes from what he said..

everywhere that is open to public is defined as "open space"
in city, all of them is a whole.
ex: pedestrian overpass, street, banquatte, ..
the common good = the use of public + modern standards >> a huge problem in Ankara.
(see: pedestrian right of way)
+ squares are left to vehicle traffic
vehicle priority? >> a perception that is left all over the world.
over-underpass: instant solution; yet, it doesn't work in long term.
ex: Kızılay Metro.
